1937 Selmer Paris Clarinet - Balanced Tone

For sale is a rare, professional-grade Selmer Paris "Balanced Tone" (BT) wooden clarinet. This is a highly sought-after vintage instrument, serial number L6985, dating it to approximately 1937. Details: Model: Balanced Tone (Professional Series) Brand: Henri Selmer Paris (Authentic French Made) Material: Grenadilla Wood Mouthpiece: Includes a professional Selmer HS* mouthpiece. Condition: The wood is in beautiful condition with no visible cracks. The silver-plated keywork has a nice vintage patina. Maintenance: The instrument "works fine" but will eventually need a basic "tune-up." Specifically, the tenon corks are old and should be replaced for a tighter fit. This is a "player's horn" with the rich, warm sound Selmer is famous for. Perfect for a jazz musician, collector, or advancing student looking for a professional wood instrument at a fraction of the cost of a new one (new Selmers retail for $3,500+)
